The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word loyal is the idea of not cheating on your partner.
While this is a big part of being loyal, there is much more to it than just that. Learning what loyalty means is the first step to being a good partner in a relationship.
After reading this article and learning about what loyalty really is, you should be able to put these ideas to use and be a loyal partner.
What is loyalty?
Loyalty, as we have recounted, is more than just not cheating. With that being said, not cheating is a big part of being loyal. When you are in a relationship with someone, it is obvious that it is wrong to go behind their back and have an affair. But what are some of the other things that loyal people do? Let’s discuss some of those concepts now.
Remove yourself from the market
An important part of being loyal is removing yourself from the market and letting everyone know that you are taken. There should be no question to others whether or not you are in a relationship, and if someone makes advancements onto you then it is your job to quickly shoot them down.
Be open and vulnerable to your partner
Being loyal to your partner also means that you are open to them and that you are vulnerable to their will. When it comes to being open with your partner, it is important for the two of you to have conversations about the relationship, your feelings and emotions, and your thoughts on trust and loyalty. Being vulnerable to your partner means that you are susceptible to being hurt if they were to not be loyal to you.
Being vulnerable is something that happens in any relationship where both partners actually love and care for each other. Although it may seem negative, a lack of vulnerability may show you that the relationship isn’t meant to be.
Avoid hurting your partner without lying
Not hurting your partner’s feelings and emotions is an important part of having a healthy relationship. Doing this without lying is an act that loyal people do. Although it shouldn’t happen as much, many people lie to their partner in order to avoid hurting them. Sometimes lies really can be harmless, but lying to prevent another person from knowing something that you did is wrong and makes you an unloyal partner.
The idea is not to prevent them from knowing things that would hurt them, rather it is about preventing things that could hurt them from happening in the first place. If you really care about your partner and are loyal to your relationship, you will do anything in your power to keep them happy.
Hopefully, this article has given you a solid understanding of what it means to be loyal. Loyalty is something that comes with temptation, making it harder to be loyal. However, it is your responsibility to fight these negative urges.
Being loyal not only benefits your partner, but it benefits the relationship and it will also make you feel better about yourself. In the end, being loyal is always the best option.
